Hardware and software requirements

Effective June 1st, 2026, Kodak will discontinue all hardware sales related to the Software business due to vendor constraints.  

Moving forward, Kodak will provide service and support for VOE (Virtual Operating Environment) configurations ONLY. This means all new installations of our Workflow Software will not be installed natively on the server hardware itself.

Customers should leverage regional hardware providers to purchase any WINDOWS Server that meets the specifications outlined in the VOE Planning Guide (KA12807).

Customer-purchased hardware must comply with the following requirements that are outlined in the VOE Planning Guide (KA12807).

• Host hardware requirements
• Host hypervisor requirements
• VM requirements

While customers must purchase servers separately, guidelines and materials are available to support the buying needs of Kodak customers and optimize performance. 

During the transition, please contact local Kodak Workflow Sales support for questions about server configurations or the VOE Planning Guide. 

Virtual environments

INSITE Creative Workflow is qualified on the following virtual platforms:

Note: Intel and AMD CPUs are qualified in Kodak Virtual Operating Environment installations (VMWare and Hyper-V)

Important: For VOE (Virtual Operating Environment), Kodak does not provide the license for Microsoft operating system. The licenses can be purchased through a Microsoft reseller of your choice.

Note: A minimum of 16 GB of RAM and 146/160 GB (platform dependent) system disk are highly recommended for Windows 2019. A minimum of 32 GB of RAM and 250 GB system disk are highly recommended for Windows 2022. You may check the total current usage of all the running processes of your system and then add 4 GB on top of it. This total may be the amount of RAM to have to sufficiently run the system. Your configuration and other factors may still affect the overall performance, and the system may require more disk space or RAM.

Note: Windows OS licensing is included in the KMS environment.

Qualified servers

INSITE Creative Workflow 11.5 requires Microsoft Windows Server 2019 Standard, or Windows Server 2022 Standard on one of the following Dell platforms:

Windows 2019 Standard or Windows 2022 Standard

Note: A minimum of 16 GB of RAM and 146/160 GB (platform dependent) system disk are highly recommended for Windows 2019. A minimum of 32 GB of RAM and 250 GB system disk are highly recommended for Windows 2022. You may check the total current usage of all the running processes of your system and then add 4 GB on top of it. This total may be the amount of RAM to have to sufficiently run the system. Your configuration and other factors may still affect the overall performance, and the system may require more disk space or RAM.

Rendering Engine Sizing

Note: Maximum number of rendering engines is defined by the hardware platform and workflow licensing, not by the version of the workflow software. 

Important: These are guidelines only. While they are accurate for most installations, individual workflow and file type variations and/or bandwidth limitations may limit the maximum number of renderers to fewer than the listed maximums.
